Monster Spotlights '05 Top Retailer Awards

Outstanding consumer electronics retailers were singled out by Monster Cable Products at CES, when the Brisbane, Calif.-based cable and audio products company honored its top dealers for their past 12 months' contributions to the CE business, as well as to Monster.

Monster attracted some 5,000 attendees to the annual dealer awards ceremony and concert at the Paris Hotel, here. This year's featured performer was Rod Stewart, the 60-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, and now American Songbook crooner.

Head Monster Noel Lee was the master of ceremonies for the awards portion of the evening, which also included a moving tribute to the late Bob White of Bjorn's and a moment of silence for the tsunami victims.

A special post-awards show was held later at Bally's featuring guitar legend George Benson and funk/soul singer Val Watson.

Monster named Bjorn's Audio Video for M-Design retailer of the year, and Harvey for gold retailer of the year.

Earlier in the week, at its “Best Of” dinner on Wednesday night, Monster presented the international retailer special recognition award to the Dixon Store Group of Ireland; the Plug-Ins of Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Powerhouse of England; and Vanden Borre of Belgium.
